Working on low to high- it’s time. Isolated the fact that lefty was the problem and also found lefty to be the side that wants to stall through the ball. These reps feel correct and give my right arm a chance to really freely rotate across my chest …

New level of iron compression: unlocked!
This trail leg back 45 is really doing it for me!

All the best,
Zach

I’m actually loving exploring the lower body action, and was not at all prepared for how much the “Trail Leg Back 45” concept would shake things up for me. I was looking to the upper body for answers to my impact arm alignments, but the lower body s…

Sighhhh in my grand tradition of sending myself down my own rabbit holes, I think the reason I’m having difficulty maintaining that extension in the follow through is my body action in transition isn’t supporting it. I perhaps stumbled upon(pun) wha…

Hi Tyler!

Hope you’re well.
I’ve had some luck practicing through the release feeling the trail scap retraction/depression blending to lead scap retraction/elevation- thank you for that insight.
I’m having a much harder time maintaining that lead s…

I think I may have answered my question with that forearm rotation still except modified a bit.

Yes?

Thank you. Attacking a swing from all sides feels like putting on a fitted sheet, but it’s nice to feel progress. Last four rounds in the 70s, so…

Same two shots from the same two holes(guess I’ve been hitting the 12th fairway pretty consistently lately). I’m narrowing it down, I think. I definitely have more problems with wedges than I do longer clubs when it comes to the kyphosis, perhaps th…

Hi Tyler!

I’m having a really hard time kicking this kyphosis. I can do it on the range with intense concentration, but in the wild I just can’t quite seem to get it. Maybe I haven’t found the “big picture” swing thoughts that let me do it. That te…

Latest iteration, tempering the right hand low stop sign with lead arm lock. I think this is my combo of feels for follow through, unless you see something you really don’t like.

Cheers,
Zach

Working with what you said about follow through arm motion and combining it with the scap retraction, I think I understand this better. It’s not so much rolling your forearms as *allowing them to rotate and the arms to extend in a way that decreases…

Ah man ok! Thats so interesting… I’d been looking at an outward hand path in transition as a way to neutralize path at the bottom, but it really doesn’t seem like something a lot of elite ball strikers do. With your comments there and in your video …

Thank you so much for the in depth replies!!
I’ve rolled in (see what I did there) the forearm rotation drill with practicing my through swing pivot while keeping my trail shoulder in retraction. Although combining that with my trail arm release was…

Ah that’s so crazy, because they feel so different to me(I’ll let you guess which one was harder for me to isolate).

Shoulders are kind of a final frontier for me, I think, in terms of gross consistency. When you said thoracic extension is easier t…

Ok, that was the right move.
I know better than to shout “eureka!”, but I feel much better than I did yesterday.

Fondly,
Zach

Continuing to work this out…

I revisited combo supination and right bend. If I set the sort of P9ish position you demonstrate there as a fixed, non negotiable point, my body HAS to go into negative torsion to get there. Then the game becomes how fa…
